   I was super paranoid even after two years' (almost) not being bitten. However for this week a few bites appears on the back of my right hand in a scary breakfast-lunch-dinner pattern. They do not seem as bumpy and severe as last time but such condition makes me feel very bad, again. I've got Climbup under my bed. So far it caught a few carpet beetle larvas. But on the other hand the powder in the interior seem to be fading and I fear they might lose their function in a few weeks.

   Anyway, it seems an encasement for the spring box and mattress might make inspection easier (the mattress is black and the spring box almost dark, too..., considering I might be working in some computer thrift-store. The problem I met is that the size of the mattress is 38*76 and the spring box is almost the same size. However, according to the web most twin size beds are around 38*75 , which makes me wonder, if an encasement specifies its size as 38*75, will it be able to contain a mattress that is a bit longer, like 38*76 ? How about a spring box? If not, will it work if I order a larger size?

   It is my first attempt for encasements and as a university student I really don't want to waste any coin. Thanks in advance and may bug bites never occur to you >_<
